Here’s what you may have missed this week at iQ Trivia.
WINNERS
It was a great day for this team, as they won the jackpot a few minutes after putting up a record score of 88 points.
They got nearly every point it was mathematically possible to get. Team name bonus, three bonus questions, 5 on the gambler’s, TriviArt bonus points. But even still, they got no points in the lightning round.
